Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I just downloaded a big ZIP file in my dial-up connection (took me all night), and when I woke up, the Konqueror was browsing the ZIP file. So I thought "OK, it's where I told it to save it, right?"...so I closed Konqueror and opened the folder I thought it was in and...it wasn't....(and, in fact, I never chose a place to save it in )

Because of your system's write permissions, the file is almost certainly saved to your home directory, some subdirectory thereof, or /tmp.

If you can remember the name of the file, you can use the "locate" command to find it. The syntax is "locate <some.part.of.your.filename.text>". You may have to run updatedb (may take several minutes) first to refresh the locate database.
